Chapter 11
We went to the Starbucks after that.
"What are you reading?" Alessia asked taking a bite from her lasagna. She still had her rainbow frappuccino.
"It's about an ancient werewolf. It's like a legendary one." I said. I finished my mac and cheese 5 minutes before. So I only have my oreo frappuccino left.
"Hmm.. Interesting. I have heard lots of legends. Tell me more." Esmeralda said and took a big bite from her bacon wrapped chicken. She called the waiter and ordered for another coffee frappuccino.
I took a sip from my drink.
"It says she is a golden wolf. I have heard about that before." I said looking at them.
"Me too." Esmeralda said.
Honestly, I don't know if it's true or not. I mean, Golden wolves. There are no gold-coloured wolves. Only, brown, white, black, beige, gray and such colors. But no gold.
But I have heard of the legend. That there once was a golden wolf. It's said that she was a wolf sent to stop the evil forces.
"It says that she was killed in the battle 2000 years ago." I said.
"Wow! That's so long." Alessia gasped.
"It also says that she will be reborn. That she will have to the evil. It says this new evil wolf will be a descendant of the ancient one." I said.
"What? Reborn? Oh my god!" Esmeralda gapped at me.
"If she isn't able to stop the evil, then the world will suffer. Not only wolves, but every supernatural being. Even the humans. The moon will loose her light too. The world will be ruled by evil. Only the Golden can stop him." I read a sentence in the book.
"The world will suffer.. That's bad." Alessia said.
"So, the Golden is a she. And whoever the evil person is a guy." Esmeralda said. I nodded.
" It says, she might have been reborn now also. But she might be hidden from others." I told them.
"That.. That means..."
"That the golden is somewhere out there. So is the evil" Esmeralda mumbled. We stared at each other in shock.
"There is a marking on the Golden. It will appear on her left shoulder. However, no one knows what the marking looks like. It's said to be unique. There is another marking on her. It's the eyes. Once she embraces her inner beast, her eyes will turn to amber or gold. But, in wolf form, her eyes will be red just like rogues. The difference is her eye colour will be deeper and darker than rogues." I read.
"A marking. Hmm.. I would love to meet the golden wolf. How cool would that be!" Alessia gushed. I let out a laugh.
"What are you thinking about?" I heard Alessia's voice behind me. I was outside our house. I was laying on the cold grass in the night. She came and lay beside me. Soon, Esmeralda joined too.
"Nothing." I said.
"Come on, you can tell us anything. Did we do something wrong? Wait! Did we hurt you?" Alessia asked. I let out a little laugh.
"No, you girls didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you 2 are the best people I have ever met. You showed me that their is more than hate and cruelty in the world. How could I ever be unhappy with such beautiful people like you?" I said looking at the moon.
"Then what's bothering you? I know that look, Sofia." Esmeralda said. I siged.
"I can't stop thinking about him. After everything he said and did, i still miss him." I said.
"Your mate, Benjamin?" Esmeralda asked. I nodded.
"He mated another." I said as a tear left my eyes.
"WHAT?" they both yelled at the same time.
"But how did you know?" Alessia asked quietly.
"I felt it. I was in the library today when it happened." I sighed.
I gave the book to sir Robert. He is a special person to the library. I bid him goodbye and went to put another book to the shelf.
Suddenly, I felt hot. Very hot. My neck started burning. I couldn't breath. My lungs were burning. I felt thousands of needles piercing my skin.
I ran to the restroom and locked the door.
Tears formed in my eyes as i fought to breath. I was shaking. I felt bile raise in my throat. I ran towards the toilet bowl.
Once I was done. I moved away and washed my mouth. My throat hurt so bad. I went to flush the toilet, but what I saw scared the hell out of me.
It wasn't vomit. It was blood. I flushed it at once. And leaned against the door as the pain came again. I wrapped my arms around me and cried silently.
My whole body was on fire.
My abdomen hurt. My neck burns. Sweat dripped down my face.
And then it all suddenly stopped. It all stopped. The pain slowly started to fade.
"I'm so sorry. I know how it feels. Probably the worst thing I have ever experienced." Alessia said sadly.
"It's ok. I don't care. He can do whatever he wants." I said. But who was I kidding? It's not ok. I care. And it hurts. A lot.
I sighed standing up. "I'm going to sleep. Good night, girls!" I gave them a small smile which they returned. I walked back to our little house.
I went to our room and climbed the upper bunk bed.
